SANTIAGOBrgy. Chairman: GOMER T. COLOMA
Santiago is one of the oldest
barrios in the town. Strangely enough however, it had made very little
progress after many years because it was only recently that a good road was
built connecting it to Poblacion . The old road was hardly passable, especially
during the rainy season.
The barangay was named after Santiago de Galicia, renown Spanish general. It is at the same time its patron Saint. Stories told by the oldest inhabitants disclosed the many miracles by the patron Saint, one of which occurred during the smallpox epidemic in the Islands. Very few in the barangay got the diseases, but the image of the Saint especially its face was riddled with smallpox. Likewise whenever the farmers in the barrio needed water for their rice plants. They had only to hold the novena in honor of the Patron Saint and the rains would come. The feast day of the saint, July 25, is an occasion for merry-making in the barrio. |
